good boots

[Tony G]

so redwings quality is crap now so im looking for an alternative the military boots are good but i find they don't hold up as long as id like any suggestions

its really hard to find a sturdy pair of boots for this lifestyle. the ballast and all the rugged terrain you have to march through just chews everything up. pants and jackets are easy enough to patch up but not so much your shoes.

last pair i had lasted a whole year (unprecedented) but a lot of that time was spent working. after the summer travels the dogs were finally kilt

theydve lasted longer if i hadnt gone with the deer leathers. went back to gritstones. hopefully the soles dont start falling off the bottom after roughly 6mos this time.

will be my 5th pair of danners, bc theyre just so damn comfortable.

I second this got a pair of 2nd hand Danner Acadias on ebay and they're such a sturdy boot. Got them resoled and widened but good as new and a fraction of what they cost new.

This might be irrelevant but after thanksgiving they always have like Black Friday sales at feed stores and work wear stores. Can get real good deals on good boots and jackets etc. save that holiday money up for the month and drop 50-300 on some good shit.

Most of those boots are decent enough and the tread lasts me until summer when I swap to sandals anywho.

Not a bad idea but the closest feed store to me is on the other side of the state ain't alot of farming going on this side of the mountains it's too dry
